Maybe there is some better way of passing around maxRestartDelay?

--maxrestart might be confusing name, could --maxrestartdelay be better but a bit long?

Maybe it would make sense if the option is per daemon instead but not sure about syntax, something like daemon 3s: ...? or extend the syntax to key=value so something like daemon maxrestartdelay=3: ...? should be a global option also, @maxrestartdelay=3?

--maxdelay or --maxbackoffdelay?

I'd love to get this merged.

@cortesi let me if you think it should be done in different way

Hi @wader . I'm working on #101 (fixes #86 & #55, hopefully).
May be the maxrestart could be implemented like the mentioned silence directive, per block also.
WDYT?

@pavel-kolesnikov hello! yes could be an option, then it would configure it for all daemons in that block? i've thought about having the option per daemon which is nice as it make it very clear what it is used for.

Basically, per Block. Like this:

** {
  silence: 1s
  prep: echo "no more then once a second"
}

Hmmmm... Option per daemon is nice also. But then extensive lexer rework needed, I think. At least 2 options:

• extend daemons to blocks themselves (and we inventing YAML\JSON here)
• develop something like +k:v (and again, inventing wheel :( )

Nice summary. Opt 2 would also follow how +sigterm etc works now
